Vegetable and Tomato Chicken Fettuccine

Submitted by perthie

"I had some roast chicken left in the fridge (you can use any chicken) so decided to whip up a pasta sauce with lots of yummy veg. As the chicken I used was cooked, just cook the chicken beforehand then go to instructions. Spinach can be added. Also good recipe for a cold with the chilli and garlic. Plus it's very quick to make. I have also put this sauce on a tortilla with lots of tasty cheese.. its quite good!"

Fabulous and healthy - I added some olives and topped it with WW cheese. Made a generous amount too . Thanks for posting.
